Goodbye Europe!

50 days ago, my flight touched down in Heathrow Airport. At that time, I felt that it’s a still loooonnng way to go till the day I’m flying back. But hey, 50 days have passed and it’s time to get my ass back to Malaysia.

While reading through the comments – some thought I’m here to study. Some even thought I found a job here! How I wish! But the fact it, I’m just traveling. I gotta thank my parents for giving me this chance to come to Europe.

I couldn’t have asked for more.

I can still vividly remember the days I’m here. Things went quite slow in the beginning but in glimpse, time is up.

Anyway, I would like to recap the places I’ve been to during this trip. First of all, Leeds.

I stayed in Leeds for most of the time. It’s the place where my friends are staying. If I were to stay in a hotel throughout this trip, I wouldn’t have stayed so long. Expensive leh!

And became the new manager of Liverpool. Didn’t you know Rafa Benitez was sacked to make way for Ken Wooi? The team is currently happy with the change. Just look at the smiles on Gerrard, Torres and Carragher.

And became the new boss of Manchester United. For your information, Alex Ferguson used to sit at that particular seat during home matches.

My last destination, sadly, was York. It’s a small town about 30 minutes from Leeds by train.

I haven’t had the time to blog about York yet. (Updated 18/2/2010: York entry published) But this is the York City Walls – it was built around the town centuries ago.

Anyway, being here got me exposed to different lifestyles and cultures. I’m starting to love this place and sometimes dream of living here for the rest of my life. It’s the first time I experienced snow as well!

The weather is so cool and I rarely find myself sweating. Now I’m looking forward to the temperature-shock when I get back to Malaysia. It has always been less than 5° Celsius everyday here in UK whereas Malaysia is like 30° Celsius. Huge difference!

You know what – I’m so used to the cold weather, I think I can stay in the fridge when I’m back.

To be honest, it’s quite saddening to go back.

If you’re reading this entry moments after it’s published, I’m already on my way to London. Will be catching a flight soon to Dubai, and then to Malaysia. Sighs, I just wish that this day will never come.

Nevertheless, it was certainly a great experience. I’m really glad I had this opportunity. Goodbye Europe! Malaysia, I’m coming home! =)

Hello there! It’s sad isn’t it when you wanted to depart from something u love!My first trip to England was also in Leeds, where I had to stay with a british family. I love the air and the environment. But of course, one thing missing is the ‘buzz’ that we have here, and mamak stall…no teh tarik and roti when u craved for them! I am sure your travel will give u great experience! By the way,thanks for stopping by at my blog!Cheers!

Certainly a great experience and long vacation you had!
I wonder when I will have this chance, there are so many other Asian destinations which I have yet to visit :) Well, being there for vacation and working/studying there for long can be quite a different feelings I think :P

Make your travels more comfortable with a Westgate timeshare or a Wyndham Vacation Ownership product. Timeshares are larger than hotel rooms and usually come with more amenities too. Buy or rent on the resale market and save.
